It's not a very happy Diwali for Rakhi Sawant. She's running around with her lawyer, with plans to file a defamation lawsuit against Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh for his recent statement comparing India Against Corruption (IAC) member Arvind Kejriwal to her.

"Arvind Kejriwal is like Rakhi Sawant. They both try and expose but with no substance," Singh had written on his microblogging profile.

Says the fuming actress, "How dare he take my name like that? Satiya gaya hai voh. Lagta hai budhapey mein uski buddhi brasht ho gayi hai. Who is he to tell me whether I am exposing? Where did I expose, in his house? And how can he compare me with Kejriwal; it's so insulting. Mr Digvijay has spoilt my reputation, now I am going to teach him a lesson. And I can do it all by myself. It's sad that a few ministers are spoiling the Congress party's name!"

Meanwhile, Rakhi is miffed with Kejriwal too. Apparently, he avoided her — and her questions — during a recent visit to Delhi. She had reportedly contacted Kejriwal and even fixed a meeting, which was cancelled last minute.

Says Rakhi, "I wanted to ask him (Kejriwal) some questions about his remarks against the women of India and also, Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul (Gandhi). I called him up and enquired if we could meet. He said, 'aap mujhe maarengi toh nahi?' and I replied, 'aap toh meethi chhuri hai'. He agreed to meet me, but the day I landed in Delhi and called him, the phone was switched off. His close aide Manish Sisodia told me that Kejriwal is not keeping well and would not be able to meet me. When he loves to be in the news throughout the day, why does he shy away from meeting people like us, who want to understand the basis of his allegations?"

She adds, "Darr gaya; he's scared of me. I wanted to ask him what he is really doing for the country. Sab mantriyon ka bhaanda phhod raha hai, but that is only for his need. He's lying when he says he wants to help the common man; he just wants to do things for his kursi. He's just doing bol-bachhan. He is a bhagoda. He doesn't have the guts to meet me."
